SDA Lover at 7 Months Old

I’ve been listening to my old CD’s and a few new ones since I upgraded the tweeters and crossovers in my SDA 2B’s and the opamps in my CD player. I’m amazed at how much better everything sounds. Now I just need to find more time to listen.

Here’s one way to make some time to listen: I’ve stayed home a few times recently with my 7 month old daughter while my wife did something with the older kids. She gives me this look like, “Hey Dad, let’s listen to the SDA’s!” Anyway, when the music starts playing, she snaps her head around to look at the spot where the vocals are coming from. If the vocals move around, she follows every move. It’s funny to watch and she seems really content to listen. It’s a real sacrifice on my part, but anything to make her happy!

    Same here with the three-year-old. There's also something about the SDAs that make her want to dance.

    Maybe there's a market for a SDA crib music player? :)

    At 45 years old I still snap my head around and follow the sound with child-like amazement! Steely Dan "Hey Nineteen" from "Gaucho" is one that I need to make sure is on the SDA playlist.

    Hmmm .... a mini-SurroundBar. And maybe a clock radio to compete with the Bose Wave Radio. :p

    Well said! I'm 40 and so do I.


    I had some Christmas music on the other day while the kids were playing and our 4 year old walked into the room during a narrated portion. She stopped in her tracks, looked around with a puzzled look on her face, and said "Who's that? Where are they?"
